AT&T customers surprised by 'unlimited data' limit

[koalabear]

Mike Trang likes to use his iPhone 4 as a GPS device, helping him get around in his job. Now and then, his younger cousins get ahold of it, and play some YouTube videos and games.

But in the past few weeks, there has been none of that, because AT&T put a virtual wheel clamp on his phone. Web pages wouldn't load and maps wouldn't render. Forget about YouTube videos — Trang's data speeds were reduced to dial-up levels.

"It basically makes my phone useless," said Trang, an Orange County, Calif. property manager.

So? It's the market. Don't come crying to us because big corporations rip off consumers. Why don't you go and shoot the president of AT&T?

LOL, I saw that. Would have been funny to see 70,000 wearing them at OT.

You think it's funny that corporations renege on their service contracts?

The only reason Kenny and Herr Suarez apologised is because the Americans are getting pressure in the US. Bad PR for Fenway.
